"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 757
"General, the scouts have figured out the situation!"
In the Temporary Headquarters of the Southern Army in Sishui Prefecture, Dongjiang Province, a general stepped into the war hall with big strides.
After hearing this, Luo Mingyuan, the general of Zhennan who was looking down at the map, immediately stood up.
"What's going on, how come there are a large number of bandits in Tongshan Mansion?" Luo Mingyuan asked anxiously.
The sudden appearance of a large number of Qinghe troops in Tongshan Mansion made General Zhennan feel baffled.
It stands to reason that their three-way army has already invaded the central area of ??Jiangnan Province, and the Qinghe Army should not have appeared here.
"General, Major General, Major General, they were defeated on the Blue River Plain."
The general glanced at the anxious Luo Mingyuan, and sighed.
"You're lying. A few days ago, Jing'er sent someone to say that they will capture the entire Blue River Mansion in a few days. How could they be defeated?"
"Besides, the main force of the bandit army is in the north, and there is no bandit army in the middle"
"General, we have been tricked by the thieves, and their main force never went to the north at all. They have been waiting for the Major General and them in the Blue River Plain," the general explained.
"Jing'er has an army of 80,000. Even if the main force of the bandit army is in the Blue River Plain, they will not be defeated!"
General Zhennan would never believe the fact that the 80,000 army led by his son suffered a crushing defeat.
After all, Luo Jing has been following him in the army, and his performance is also remarkable. This time he sent Luo Jing to lead the army alone, in order to increase his prestige.
In order for Luo Jing to be able to win the battle, he not only equipped Luo Jing with the seasoned and prudent veteran Wang Cheng, but also mobilized 10,000 elite skeleton battalions.
It can be said that Luo Jing's command is the luxurious lineup of the Southern Army, but now someone reports that Luo Jing has lost the battle, and Luo Mingyuan is unwilling to believe it.
But now the Qinghe army did appear in Tongshan Mansion, but his son Luo Jing has no news. Although Luo Mingyuan is unwilling to admit it, he also has a bad premonition in his heart.
"Report, urgent battle report from the Fourth Corps!"
When Luo Mingyuan didn't believe the fact that his son was defeated, a guard led a dusty cavalry and rushed over.
"what happened?"
Luo Mingyuan turned his gaze to this handsome cavalryman, and asked in a cold voice.
"General, I am Wu Liu, a hundred-member general of the scout battalion of the Fourth Corps. We have received news that the Major General was defeated on the Blue River Battlefield, and we also found a large group of bandits in front of Dongjin Mansion. The Commander of the Corps is requesting instructions on the next move." .¡±
The 100-member scout from the Fourth Corps, who was in charge of reporting back, spoke very quickly and reported the situation to Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan.
Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan didn't believe that his son was defeated just now, but now that even the troops on the South Road knew, he also closed his eyes in pain.
"This bastard!"
Luo Mingyuan had always placed high hopes on his son Luo Jing, and he planned to pass on the position of Zhennan General to him in the future.
That's why he let Luo Jing lead the army alone, gain some military merits by the way, and establish prestige.
However, man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. Luo Jing's crushing defeat in the Blue River Battlefield not only caused them to lose their troops, but also caused his plan to recover Jiangnan Province to fall short.
?The three-way offensive troops sank into the sand with the broken halberd of the middle road, and the other two roads, one south and one north, became a lone army.
"General, urgent battle report!"
Before Luo Mingyuan recovered from the news of the defeat of the central army, another general hurried into the battle hall.
"What's the matter?!"
Seeing this general with an ugly complexion, Luo Mingyuan's heart was ablaze for no reason, and his tone became a little harsher.
The general didn't know where he had offended Luo Mingyuan, but facing Luo Mingyuan's dark face, he calmed down and hurriedly reported the news he had just received.
"General, there is news from the direction of Xinmen Mansion that General Xu has led the First Corps to withdraw."
The general looked at Luo Mingyuan's face while talking, ready to stop reporting at any time.
"This bastard!"
After hearing the general's words, the anger in Luo Mingyuan's heart was completely detonated, and he slammed his fist on the table. The water cup trembled violently, and the tea splashed out. out.
Xu Liang, as a general of the southern army with a heavy hand in his hands, led his troops back without Luo Mingyuan's permission, how could he not make Luo Mingyuan angry.
"Why did he retreat?"
Although Luo Mingyuan was very angry in his heart, but Xu Liang had a heavy army in his hands, and he would have nothing to do with Xu Liang for a while.
"The gossip said that the Major General was defeated in the middle, and General Xu was worried that he would be cut off by the bandits, so"
"He was hesitant to attack, but he ran fast for his life!"
Luo Mingyuan, who was on fire in his heart, let out a cold snort from his nostrils, and was very upset with Xu Liang.
"Send an order to Xu Liang to stick to the Xinmen mansion and not to retreat any further. If he takes another step back, he will be killed without mercy!"
Although Xu Liang holds a heavy army, he is still the general of Zhennan, and he still has to sound the alarm for Xu Liang.
As for whether Xu Liang will listen or not is another matter, he must at least express his attitude.
"General, what about the Fourth Corps in the south?"
With the defeat of the central road and the withdrawal of the north road, the attacking force of the south road became a lone army.
"Let the Fourth Corps also withdraw."
Although Luo Mingyuan was extremely reluctant, with the defeat in the middle road, their strategic move to recover the Jiangnan province had already failed.
If the troops on the South Road are allowed to continue to advance, it will become a lone army going deep, which is a taboo for military strategists.
"Send out all the scouts, and bring that evil animal back to me."
The army in the middle road was defeated, and his son Luo Jing's life and death were also unknown. Although he was angry in his heart, he was still very worried about Luo Jing's safety.
"No."
The southern army was defeated on the front line, and everyone's mood was quite low, and they all took orders and left.
When General Zhennan issued an order to retreat to the Fourth Corps of the South Road Attacking Force, when the messengers just set off, the 22nd Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army had already arrived near the Fourth Corps and was eyeing it.
There are more than 30,000 people in the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army. They fought steadily all the way. Although they were attacked and blocked by a small group of Qinghe Army troops, they did not suffer too much loss.
According to the original battle plan, their three-way army will converge at Xin'an Mansion in Jiangnan Province, and then continue eastward.
However, they had just entered the territory of Dongjin Mansion when they heard the news of the disastrous defeat of the troops in the middle of the Blue River Battlefield. They also had to stop their offensive and hurriedly sent someone to ask Luo Mingyuan for instructions on the next move.
Before Luo Mingyuan's instructions were conveyed, a banner regiment of the Qinghe Army had already arrived in the territory of Dongjin Mansion.
The Fourth Corps of the Southern Army has more than 30,000 people, while Yang Zhong's 22nd Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army only has 20,000 people in four banner battalions.
Although the strength of the army is not dominant, Yang Zhong, the head of the banner regiment who wants to make contributions as soon as possible, regards the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army as a piece of fat, and has already begun intensive planning on how to eat them.
